Shibboleth Project

The Shibboleth project began under the Internet2 Middleware Initiative in 1999, connecting with the work of the OASIS SAML Working Group and participating in SAML from its initiation. As a founding member of this effort, Internet2 has been and remains firmly committed to the ongoing development and sustenance of Shibboleth as a critical software component for many campus identity management systems. To help expand the global support and adoption for Shibboleth, the Shibboleth Consortium was founded.
